5 Things Your Catholic Kid Should Know At Age 5

Little Saint Adventures is the perfect app for raising little saints! With over 50 games, puzzles, word searches, prayers, and more, your little ones (ages 4-8 or so) will enjoy screen time that is meaningful and educational. 

The list below includes 5 things your Catholic kid should know by age 5. Little Saint Adventures can help you and your little one learn all of these things!

• The Our Father. Jesus taught us this prayer and it is perfect. Say it every night before bed and watch as your children begin to recite it during Mass!
• The Hail Mary. Teaching our children to honor Mary the same way Jesus honors her is one of the best things we can do for them. For extra study, read Luke 1:26-38 to see how the Hail Mary begins with the words of the Angel Gabriel.
• That the Trinity is “One God, revealed in Three Persons.” The doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery. Even some theologians have a hard time comprehending it. But the Church gives us great guidance on understanding this beautiful mystery. It’s best to start with “One God, revealed in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” 
• The end of the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is very long. Even though Roman Catholics say this at every Mass (Novus Ordo), it still takes a long time to memorize. Start with the end on this one. Explain to your little one that the Body of Christ (the Church) is “One, Holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic.” It is meant to be unified, holy, universal in belief/ doctrine, and its authority is passed down from the Apostles through the Holy Spirit (apostolic.)
• The first 5 Commandments. It’s ok if your little one hasn’t memorized all of the 10 Commandments. The first five by age five is a good goal.  

This educational app offers 8 different “worlds” for your little one to explore. Every app automatically comes with St. Francis’ Forest. The other worlds are available with a monthly subscription of just $3.99 per month. At that affordable price your child could be learning more about the Catholic faith all year round!

In Shamrock Isle, your little saint will learn all about the Trinity and the Creed with beloved St. Patrick. In St. Teresa of Avila’s Castle, they will learn the importance of having a strong prayer life. In My Parish Family, your child will learn all about the Sacraments, the universal Church, and the liturgical year.  

Catholicism is a beautiful, but incredibly deep and wide ocean. There is so much to learn! But you don’t have to do it all on your own. Little Saint Adventures features a parent portal so you can see what your child has learned while playing the app. The parent portal offers tips for faithful fun such as craft and meal ideas for certain feast days.
